More quotes by Mother Teresa
Words lead to deeds, they prepare the soul, make it ready, and move it to tenderness.
Mother Teresa
Holiness consists of doing the will of God with a smile.
Mother Teresa
I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around me.
Mother Teresa
Spread your love everywhere you go.
Mother Teresa

We must love one another as God loves each one of us. To be able to love, we need a clean heart. Prayer is what gives us a clean heart. The fruit of prayer is a deepening of faith and the fruit of faith is love. The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.
Mother Teresa
We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.
Mother Teresa
In response to the question, 'How can we help to promote world peace?' Mother Theresa replied, 'Go home and love your children.
Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.
Mother Teresa
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
Mother Teresa
Holiness does not consist in doing extraordinary things. It consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.
Mother Teresa
Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.
Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa
Death is nothing else but going home to God, the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity.
Mother Teresa
Let's not pray long, drawn-out prayers, but let's pray short ones full of love. Let us pray on behalf of those who do not pray. Let us remember, if we want to be able to love, we must be able to pray!
Mother Teresa
